which in our t.v. it's nine am here in moscow i'm marina josh and welcome to the program russia will shock this week by plane crash that killed forty five people a two one three four heading from moscow to russia's northwestern republic of korea crash landed on a busy major road just a kilometer from its destination seven people who survived the crash remain in critical condition r.t. says are still your reports. struggling to keep her composure that the honor is in disbelief at the sudden death of her friend. i do not understand why it happened she was one of the best people i've ever known i do not understand maybe it's prayed for why did it have to happen. the russian premier league football referee.

just one of the forty four killed monday night when he tipple of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow to bettors avoids going north western russia crashed on this road missing the runway by a kilometer twenty four hours later the crash claimed another victim when one of the survivors a young boy died in hospital. when i heard the little boy in the hospital died i was shocked it's awful my late husband was a pilot he had landed planes at this airport many times it's very personal to me. the site of the crash has been cleaned up the roads have been reopened the wreckage of the plane completely removed but there are still clear marks evidence like this chorus that reminds people of the tragedy that struck on monday right and for those who have been here to witness the rest it seems they say that those memories are unlikely to go away. i didn't sleep for two days i couldn't even fall asleep i can't recall and people screaming and pulling bodies away from the plane which if

you have get me was one of the first that the scene his house only metres away from where the plane came down and. i heard the explosion and ran outside the lights went out i ran to the site and we started doing people trying to win man two women and the pilot he was dead while all the bodies have been recovered the relatives of the victims still have the tough task of identifying their loved ones investigators say all possible scenarios are being looked into but initial reports suggest bad weather and pilot error are the likely causes of the crash a suggestion that didn't sit well with some locals just would kill you it's easy to blame the pilot because he's dead i think the airport itself is to blame family and friends are waiting for answers but all they can do now is remember those they've lost that's our sylvia r t russia korea region.

and you could take a closer look at the crash side in northwest russia with a series of photos on our website oh you'd also find snapshots from the other main news stories of the week there just go to thought of galleries in the online exclusive section to get instant access and that's all our website r t v dot com. well this week has seen a number of records of growing civilian casualties in libya and the latest nato bombing tripoli says fifteen people were killed in the eastern town of gregor a claim denied by the lines leaving officials say over eight hundred civilians have died since the operation began in march r.t. is why if an arsenal reports now on how many leave us are desperate to flee to safety this family hasn't had the war quiet and peaceful like this one for months they've escaped from the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi to hide in this refugee camp in the west of the country after a life in their native town became

a nightmare. it's not safe there anymore it's become dangerous and it's not only because of explosions and gunshots one day people from the government and you call them rebels we call them terrorists came to me and told me we have to arrest your daughter because we know that she supports gadhafi. these kate has been long and hard for they were in the family but i remember i had to hide for some time from them as they've been searching for me then we knew there was a bus coming from gaza to his ear the bus with the rebels for their purposes we took that bus with our faces covered and everybody was against gadhafi on it we told them that we were also against them and they were a sane son was a brother a subquery a surgeon has also fled the city he says they've made three attempts on his life but he only finally left when he saw a killing. take him from from from you killing him in front of you.

his body. was good but the doctor says people from the national transitional council were behind it this is the rebels official political body that are part of the revolution libya started in the mid february its members are recognized by many countries throughout the world as the only legitimate representatives of libya the very. very. big. bear you i get it's. about freedom democracy there is no freedom or democracy there is just all. the refugees here say the now finally feel safe but it's not that safe from the side of the frontline either. these people have gathered in the west of tripoli to bury those killed in the air strike according to leave and government officials had barred landed on a private compound and flattened it killing fifteen people including three kids but this conflict has to come to an end immediately which is very unlikely to happen

any time soon when you dug around in these cemeteries still fresh well need to has already claimed three operations to protect civilians must go on with clashes continuing in benghazi and nato intensifying its bombardment of tripoli both eastern and western parts of the country are perilous to say and people are dying on both sides of the front line many on the ground fear that's when the democracy they were talks about will finally come here they'll last me enough people left to experience it. it pours in from western media. professor lawrence davidson from west chester university in pennsylvania told r.t. that nato has understood from the very beginning that it's humanitarian operation would inevitably bring civilian deaths. this calls into question the original justification for american intervention which was humanitarian my own personal

opinion is that that was always a just a media story for our domestic consumption and cannot enter being anywhere with this level of munitions and not kill civilians so ok you're going to protect civilians by intervening you could type of munitions that cannot avoid killing civilians i don't think that nato and its commanders and the president and politicians involved in this are beyond a point of no return so they simply cannot stop in terms of their own mind what they've invested in this and their record they will end up doing whatever is necessary to secure victory in libya and they will project media stories to cover and it's not just foreign intervention in libya that's claiming

a growing number of civilian lives as we reveal later in the program. we need u.s. targets to hit people who are members of al qaeda new arabian peninsula and then i think that we'll worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al qaeda. the u.s. is under fire for the expansion of its drone attacks in pakistan and yemen we question whether of the strategies helping to fight terrorism in the region or fostering. this week the arrest in syria continued with around twenty people reportedly killed in the latest outbreak of violence between security forces and demonstrators they are continuing to go out on the streets calling on president assad to step down and this is despite his speech on monday in which he promised liberal reforms in return for an answer to the violence and a three month long crackdown has reportedly left fourteen hundred people dead. tell us all and this director at the center for middle east studies told r.t. that the situation in the country might be a deadly stalemate. if europe wanted to starve syria they could do it in the same

way that europe star iraq of course once you go down the road if the government doesn't crumble as it didn't do any iraq then you have to take military intervention because you can't just our people forever it's hard to read the future of syria this situation could pull on the way it's going now for some time if you think that things are going to reach a climax they're going to be regime change or there aren't we saw this in libya we saw as the iraq war simulating iran that you increase the pressure but things just grind along in a very unhappy situation and that could be the future of syria for some time. e.u. leaders have agreed on a new bailout for greece but only after a strict budget cuts are imposed a vote on a proposed twenty eight billion euro austerity plan is expected on wednesday if approved it will also mean an other tranche of last year's bailout will be handed over to greece the latest developments immediate reaction from euro skeptics who

held a bar funeral in brussels for an ailing single currency they argue that attempts to bail out greece are too little too late and that the crisis will help bring about the downfall of the eurozone. if we just keep pumping money into greece it's only put off the death of their economy they are already bankrupt we have to wake up and smell the coffee and say enough is enough greece is going to go all in is going to go portugal and of course the big one everyone is worried about is the state of supply and that is one of our banks blood boil trish. because clearly the property slump is not bigger than the spanish government is telling people they say there's only been a drop of eighteen percent how do radio shows in spain people losing sixty percent in the value of their homes in their developments spain will be the next one to topple but why should we the u.k.

taxpayer pay any german taxpayer pay for the ineptitude of the greek government. was a greek crisis unravels public fewer continues to spill into the streets of athens another strike to coincide with the austerity vote next week so here is part of your eyes a lecturer at the university of the. the return to national currency could be the way out for greece. the problem is we cannot do it we are giving billion lifeline. but the biggest part of which is going to be used to repay to repay british goods this is totally absurd it is for the benefit of greek people to come an immediate exit from the euro from the euro zone the euro is a monetary absurdity in a way it's a closely irrational financial and monetary architecture that is also a contributing factor to the crisis and in general to social crisis in greece so i

think that going back to a national kerensky and regaining public control in a way national control of monetary policy is a very necessary step to be taking it is not a road to disaster the government is saying on the contrary it's going to be a very positive step the far right dutch politician cared welder's has been cleared of charges of inciting hatred and discrimination he faced five separate council holding a car versus speech he gave attacking islam and comparing it to nazis the court ruled his comments were offensive but didn't break the boundaries of legitimate debate welder's is now for his anti muslim stance and he's calling for a halt since raining and a ban on the koran and santa gratian sentiment is on the rise in europe with the e.u. leaders agreeing on friday to tighten the border throw within the union member of the european parliament still of christ says it was multicultural is politics

failing at maybe time for more radical solutions. this is very important not just for you troops but for freedom of speech and so you know we've always been told that multiculturalism was going to be great and was going to solve a lot of problems on the contrary it has become a problem in itself and it's true important that everyone should be able to you know put forward his own solutions to the problem and other it balance the pre-debate people from outside of europe who come to any country in the european union and shoot themselves through the local walls the local way of living as the romans do because it's very important multiculturalism you know in reality does not work in europe we'll see big problems in major cities major capitals in western europe where we see societies that have emerged you know with so many people who don't feel they have clued up themselves to the way of living in the country they

went through and so this has to change i think we need a much more restrictive immigration and integration policy and you're watching aren't you live from moscow still have for you this hour japan's nuclear disaster under-estimated with the sheema city where it's saved by the authorities to find radiation levels there are one thousand times the normal. class a perfect way to learn more about russia from visiting its best beauty spots to discovering some of its most sacred traditions with yourself in the picture of our new documentary channel and. it will now be easier for russian political parties to win seats in the lower house of parliament as a president has signed a bill lowering the threshold from seven percent to five percent of the votes speaking to the media before the decision to be trying to get it said it could also be possible to lower that figure to three percent the president said that this is needed to boost political competition and help modernize the country seven for sans

rash oath was introduced in two thousand and seven by his predecessor what he reported. well hoping to give that competition some fresh impetus is what of russia's richest man who has the sides on politics has been elected leader of the right cause party with plans to run in the sand with parliamentary elections is calling for a more liberal russia proverb himself didn't want to be an opposition party or he spoke exclusively to the billionaire who says he wants to be the prime minister. i'm not the kind of person who tends to dream or plunge into illusions we have particular goals to get into russia's lower house of parliament with a national number of votes what i also understand is that i could be a good prime minister if the party successful i would fight for his position. and to watch this interview in full in about an hour's time here in r.t.

the us to staff up its drone attacks in pakistan the latest killing at least twelve on monday but a growing number of civilian deaths in the strikes to spark public anger with concerns the action is driving up the number of extremists recruits and now with record stats the u.s. plans to expand its drone war and yemeni territory criticism against a strategy stronger than ever our she's got it she can't reports. the u.s. is looking to expand its war on terror but it's not the czar under fire. in pakistan a cia drone strikes aim at terrorists but end up killing mostly civilians public outrage is growing hatred and anger fausta more terror if you push them against the wall then if this militancy and goes in is going to increase this is no more dissolution because if you're attacking them by drones and they're not part of the war they have the bombs on the other side which party they're going to go in pakistan in the one year the u.s. strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders

many pakistanis are furious at their government for helping the americans kill their own people they accuse their leaders of doing that in exchange for billions of dollars from washington americans on the other hand are not too happy with what they get in return for their billions how long to support governments or large ones when do say enough is enough most governments line each other and so a business gets done they need all the cheerleading about bin laden's killing the us has stepped up drone strikes in pakistan. and pakistan in the number of casualties that result because of their own strains of sharing this like the taleban. in other groups in pakistan to recruit new members and they're doing that. washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous all kind of

outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin nonce replacement iman also laurie is not to the building of al qaeda has already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupy. why it is that with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are numbers of all quite a new regime and so then i think the real worry is that it expands the war to the point where so many people join up with al-qaeda there's security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to attack they are the

american military presumably ming and an al qaida training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in yemen his family and eight with the expansion of the drone war it seems that was the seeking only amid the biting off my that analysts say some of that may be terrorism is more the phrase mark not having making people accountable for the meat and the bombing and the lack of accountability when it comes to sydney and their leaders that more paradoxically what's right is really asking whether america is fighting and fostering terror at the same time i am going to check out with. are. learning lessons from the japanese crisis that was the key point of the thought of day nuclear formed and it's in vienna on friday but how does the refining match up to reality artesian thomas went to a city just outside the twenty kilometer no go zone to witness the deadly legacy of

the disaster for himself. i the ominous and constant ticking of geiger counters and scientists working in fukushima city concerned similar i'm in charge of the group of radiation detection and survey from fukushima university where now thinking very creation protocol and process set up by the japanese government is not enough and myself i think i should evacuate from this area but because of my job at the university i can't my family and my friends family. officially fukushima city is in a safe area eighty kilometers from the day to plant a reactor one in a full sixty kilometers outside the band's danger zone but still radiation levels here are much higher than normal. because to give you an idea of the consistency right now the ground is really quite. good with about one time. more than the accepted level but it will come down here to we're just sort of all

after the regular quickly jumped out a little climbing earlier we got a really good and i don't know iowa. which is about a thousand times more than what was an accepted level of. but in order to claim that fukushima is truly safe from leaking radiation the japanese government has had to be creative with the numbers but the government. may change the quantum level or the levels from one. to twenty. twenty times. the. standards before the accident and now. they raise the. standard so that they can say it's safe. actually the standard has changed the new higher levels mean that fukushima can be classed as being outside of the exclusion zone some say that evacuating the city

would be simply impractical given the huge numbers of people affected. to try and mitigate the circumstances to some degree a group of scientists have teamed up to find simple ways to reduce the radiation levels. you're just trying to do a pilot project do the punishable. by also and we're not using especially equipment we just use normal show both. scoops or. you just. saw it as a small effort to bring some security to a community facing a scary and uncertain future in fukushima city sean thomas party press taking journeys across the world's largest country along with spellbinding stories are now accessible around the clock and that's after r.t. dock and channel about russia was launched on thursday divers call it takes a closer look at what's in store. they travel through snow and rain and cross river
